INDEPENDENCE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE
'Tis the season of giving! With the holidays just around the corner, many of us have started our holiday shopping, or at least begun contemplating the gifts we want to share with the important people in our lives. While shopping at large chain stores may have some perks, there are even more benefits to turning to small business for your holiday gifting needs. Shopping small means you're more likely to get enhanced customer service, ethical manufacturing and sourcing, specialty items, and not to mention it's a great way to help preserve Independence's community charm while supporting the local economy. We hope this gift guide will help you explore some of the unique items found throughout small business in downtown Independence
and encourage you to keep your dollars close to home.
​
Thank you for shopping small this holiday season. #shopsmallindy
